Hi,
I tried Tuxracer on a powerpc machine + an ATI 7500 (r200)
with a 20030504 snapshot of DRI (xlibmesa-gl1) and I experienced
glitches. I tried a 20030425 snapshot which worked fine (but much
slower IMO) so I guess something broke in between.
Has anyone heard of it? Has this been already fixed?
TIA.

I've got an Asus board using the NForce2 chipset and a Radeon 9000Pro AGP
card. Right now, I'm running kernel 2.4.22-pre4 which has the NVidia AGP
drivers built in. Everything seems to work. You may want to give
2.4.22-pre6 (latest on kernel.org) a try.
Good luck,
Daniel Herring

For the radeon 9000 you need a r200 snapshot. The log you sent looks
good, direct rendering is enabled. Now all that's missing is the r200
mesa driver.

Hi Marcello!
You posted a mail here, that your 8500 freezes up your
system at 24 bpp
with ut2003 but at 16 bpp it won't freeze.
My 8500 freeze up my system even in 16 bpp with ut2003demo...
Could you send me your XF86Config file and your settings in
ut2003?
Thanks in advace,

Hi,
pretty good that we have dri and OpenGL on Linux. Thanks!!!
... but ...
My radeon don't work as expected.
I have the known lockup X11 on start of flightgear problem using XFree-4.3.0
on RedHat 9.
Chipset: "ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW (AGP)" (ChipID = 0x4c57)
I have tried several versions of the binary modules. All from the time between
7.7. an 14.7 I don't remember which ones exactly. All those drivers screw up
the X11 screen when starting flightgear. I have attached a screenshot of the
result.
Then I have tried several versions from the dri cvs and compiled it myself.
Allways replaced the modules which are in the binary driver package and most
time also tried some more. Tried many combinations of dropping in parts of
the dri source into the RedHat patched XFree source in addition to the plain
cvs trees. Also replaced /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86. I don't remember all the
tries. I finaly checked out the dri cvs dated short time past the XFree 4.3
merge. I have found an enthusiastic mail in the mailing list archives that
this one will be the best one ever seen. But this one locks up also.
Does either someone have a fix for the display problems in the actual cvs? I
can also help debugging.
Or does someone have some working binary modules which I can simply use?
Greetings
